Anyone have suggestions on books that go into how religion is used to brainwash global south populations with pro-colonial propaganda?
It seems a lot of the people in my homeland are getting more culty on cultural issues than actually working to address material issues.
Insane shit
Seems like a gross overestimate
Nevertheless, the footage shows a fairly large and well organized demonstration. There's clearly a lot of money being funnelled into this regime change op.
Comparing those images and videos to the Sydney anti-genocide rally I highly doubt 350K people are there.
The street is around 20m wide and it looks like the protest is covering about 4 or 5 blocks (1000-1250m) and the people aren't packed together so its probably less than 1 person per square meter.
Its amalgamation of every horrible dictatorships, ideologies(Facism, Stalinist, Monarchist and etc) , feudalism (Tyrant Kings from Bronze age to Medieval Era) and religion (Every religions from earth and turn them all into extremism)
stalinist lmao. are all 40k idiotic like this?
Some of us are actually literate!
Sadly a lot of 40k fans are only there because "space marine cool".
Where did you quote that from?
it is part of some argument I had with a darktide player

I wonder if statistics should be considered partially a social science rather than an entirely mathematical one. Obviously math is important but...I'll think about it and come back to this
Edit: mm probably not. I was just thinking about how economics is very much more a social science than what "economists" want it to be so I was trying to think of any other fields that may be like this
CEO of Vercel, Guillermo Rauch, is already facing community backlash for publicly supporting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, a move that’s led to boycotts and migrations off the platform among developers. All my homies hate Vercel.
Turns out CEO wants to make generous contribution towards hosting Jmail (because hosting fees are high). This generousity is because of that.
Sometimes I just look at my uni's degree sheets and think about double majoring for no reason. Idk why, but it feels good imagining me getting another degree. I think I just like completing things on lists and getting recognition of task completion once I'm done.
Edit: I won't cause I need to graduate though. But I might minor in physics or stats or something
getting recognition of task completion once I’m done.
oh yeah.
I just realized where the drive for suburbanites to wash their cars comes from. They know they should be spraying something with a hose but instead of watering their tomatoes they are spraying their car.

Also I feel like Tarot cards are so much more interesting in fiction then they are irl. I was considering buying a pack and then kinda just sat there thinking "what the hell am I going to do with these?"
Tbh it feels kinda oversaturated in fiction, or maybe just an easy way to do symbolism without investing time and effort.
"Oh we need a way to represent change"
"Ope here's the death tarot card".
"We need a way to represent the start of the adventure"
"Here's the fool tarot card." Etc. Etc.
It's kinda cheap since tarot cards in fiction inherently work via the chekovs gun and similar rules
i need more confirmation for this, is this true?

not seeing anything on any Chinese news outlet
Thoughts on Incendies? I am convinced that it is hugely self-censored. Its quite clear that the setting takes place in the Lebanese civil war.
The movie obfuscates the historical setting by making up names of the cities, however it does not make up names for Canada. For an average western viewer, it could very well be any arab country, after all a place in the middle east where muslim fundamentalists fight christians sounds like any day of the week!
However there are some very obvious references and breadcrumbs to the region, a muslim refugee wears a black and white keffiyeh, a scene there is a sticker in a window that says Palestine, another scene has a half view of a flag that could be very well jordan flag or palestine flag, it is not clear which. The movie itself was filmed in Jordan, so they definitely filmed a Jordan flag but in a way that it is not clear so it makes us think it's the palestine flag. There are several more references, however i couldn't see a single reference towards Israel and i was paying very close attention.
The movie is almost 2 decades old, quite before it was plain clear to the mainstream that Israel has been waging war in the region so i imagine the director was very careful here and engaged in self-censorship, which i find disgusting because it clearly gives Israel some plausible deniability of their huge involvement in the war, ffs they leveled and occupied half the country how can you omit this.
Please could we do trigger warnings and sensor the r word in a similar way to Hexbear? Thank you.
I dont see where the R word was used in the GDT
